last weekend we enjoyed a very Guatemalan "Day of the Dead"... see for yourself!
On the cemetery...
Some quite political messages on the kites too...
"Consequences of looking for the American dream" = death, and "Social Conflict:
Messages about the "destruction of cultural identity" are those, and they reflect some of the most pressing problems Guatemalan society faces today.
And some kites were more... well, commercial:
Not a street vendor, a cemetery vendor.
And here come some of my favorite characters of the day:
The tough guys...
Their role model Mr. Cool...
And... no comment.
Oh yeah, we were tired too afterwards.
Our new ride... yeah baby!
The picnic afterwards... with great wine and cheese, mmm!
Hasta pronto amigos!
